The Chevy Electric Cruze
General Motors plans to launch the electric version of its Chevy Spark in selected cities in India by the end of the year.
GM India President Karl Slym said that the company will review the response of customers for the zero-emissions, battery-electric model and that its future strategy regarding electric versions of its models in India will be based on this.
The success of electric cars both in India and globally will depend on their affordability and eventual utility for the end consumer.
Slym added, "Our aim is to bring something that would break the mold which is as affordable as possible and has a utility value as well."Various city and state governments in India are offering tax incentives to EV buyer to make the vehicles more competitive with non-EVs.
Apparently, GM does not consider this small electric vehicle viable for the US marketplace. Unfortunately, GM will offer a gasoline powered variant in the States.
